I don’t know about you, but I’m about green, cheap and healthy-ed out.

I’m sick of being good and sober and frugal and low-carb. If I read one more post about composting or tips on clipping coupons, I’m going to puke. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ve suddenly decided to go out clubbing baby seals or even go out clubbing. I’m just ready for a little luxury. It’s freaking cold outside where I live, and it’s not so warm inside. It’s also mostly dark, and did I mention going back to work and school after vacation sucks?

Here’s what I’m going to do about it. Why don’t you join me?

1. Creme de cacao. The DrinksMixer website has about 40 things you can do with a 8 dollar bottle of this mid-winter liquid goodness. We just poured it over ice cream growing up in my family. Yep, I had a cool mom. Gets much more mileage than leftover Christmas candy.
2. Amy’s Pesto Tortellini. It’s not cheaper than a Happy Meal, it’s not particularly healthy with all the cheese and carbs and sodium, but it’s kinda green, being organic and all. Who cares? It rocks. Like, hide-it-in-the-freezer-from-your-husband kind of rocks. And, you can eat it for lunch at your desk and go home early. Take that, Regional Manager Man!
3. How’s this for a New Year’s resolution? I am never waking up my 14-year-old again. I’m not doing it. I’m sick of it. Most of the time I have to yell or throw pillows. It ruins my whole morning zen deal. I’m getting him a Clocky and if he breaks it, I’m taking the money out of his allowance. Take that, Freshman Sleepyhead Oppressor Man!
4. Gonna buy me some Macy’s clearance items. Might leave early tomorrow to do it.
5. Netflix’s Watch Instantly. Me, bed, Bailey’s, and BBC. Brilliant.

Still feeling deprived? One last luxury, Poems for a Long Winter Night.

Ruby wishes you all the best in 2009, but you should write her more. You know how she worries.
